Sam,

Play from time to time on the Joss Tour here in the Northeast. We play all ball fouls. Years ago, we played in a room with poorly maintained tables and loose cloth. I addressed the cue ball and the cloth rolled up slightly behind the cue ball and it moved! Without being struck by the tip. My opponent called foul and Mike Zuglan agreed. The ball moved regardless.

In this instance, it was impossible for the shooter to make a good hit. None of his group of ball was struck legally. Cue ball to his opponent. League operator obviously is not a pool player.

I have played on some tables like that. Places where you could pinch the cloth like a fat baby's cheek. Pick it up about 3 inches off the table. You should never have a foul called on you due to faulty equipment. Just my opinion. I was playing some with a friend last week, and the cue ball rolled straight sideways into a divot just as I hit it. I missed a ball sitiing 6 inches from the hole, and he started laughing at me. Didn't try to cal a foul tho. LOL....
